WE STEAL SECRETS: THE STORY OF WIKILEAKS

In the new age of digital information, many have called for a new level of transparency within the federal government. When a small group of high-tech activists leaked the contents of numerous classified U.S. documents in 2010, it made headlines around the world and opened a dialogue about information sharing in the modern age. Alex Gibney looks at the deeper story behind WikiLeaks, its controversial founder Julian Assange and its lasting global impact.

Alex Gibney took home the 2007 Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature for this harrowing exploration into the death of an innocent Afghan taxi cab driver who underwent a brutal series of interrogations at the hands of U.S. soldiers. This tragic incident serves as Gibney's entry point for an in-depth investigation into America's post 9/11 torture policies, what they mean for the present and the chilling repercussions they may have in store for the future.

Alex Gibney delivers a gripping account of the meteoric rise of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and his fall from grace in a tale of power and hubris. Once nicknamed "The Sheriff of Wall Street," many believed that Spitzer had a shot at the White House until The New York Times exposed his ongoing patronage of a high-end prostitution service. Featuring a sit-down interview with Spitzer himself, this is a dramatic tale of sex and politics.

Alex Gibney exposes the sordid, calculating career of Father Lawrence Murphy, a Milwaukee priest who abused more than 200 deaf students entrusted to his care in the '50s and '60s. After officious church authorities rebuff four dauntless Murphy victims, they demand public accountability. Gibney also investigates the crimes of a charismatic, Irish, Elvis-impersonating cleric; and a powerful Mexican prelate-fundraiser, confidant of John Paul II, dabbler in opiates and mistresses, and serial abuser of seminarians.

Buckle up for a savage journey into the heart of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. The controversial creator of Gonzo journalism, Thompson lived a life on the edge as colorful and dangerous as his writing. Actor Johnny Depp captures Thompson's mad genius as he searches, with beer and gun in hand, for an honest politician and the American Dream. Chaotically blurring the line between fact and fiction, Thompson's passionate voice exploded traditional journalism and remains relevant today.

When Alex Gibney started his documentary on Lance Armstrong, the cyclist was a respected athlete and advocate for cancer survivors. The champion was in the middle of a phenomenal return from retirement with hopes of winning an eighth Tour de France. Three years later, as Armstrong's reputation lay in ruins after admitting to doping throughout his career, Gibney returns to his subject to understand the downfall and confront the man who deceived him.
